Owing a house is like new relationship, in the beginning you're all enamored by the excitement and potential the future holds but then as time goes on you realize all the work it will take to get it in the condition you want it to be in. The work it self is rewarding because you know in the end it will prove fruitful but it's still work.
Right now I'm in the process of rebuilding the front porch. Well I shouldn't say I am doing it...more like supervising.
When the porch was torn down we discovered the cement steps underneath. So, now I have to decide on whether to repair the steps and build a railing or construct an entirely new porch. Back to the relationship analogy...getting past the surface of a person will reveal those hidden things that were totally unexpected. And not to say that those things are bad things, they may just need a little TLC and time.
As you can see the exterior needs some cosmetic work and that will come in time. My main priority at the moment is to decide on the porch; keep it as is or rebuild? It's interesting how all things in life are somehow relative...
